Vanquish Condensation
Discussion
Hi all,
I know this is a regular and probably quite tired topic but just had condensation on my Gen 2, 2015 Vanquish in both the front and, more interestingly, the rear lights. Car is covered and garaged and has been sat a while but never had this before.
Interesting thing is that the rear lights are the built in blade units so genuinely puzzling around the exposure and condensation. Anyone else had this?
Took it to AM dealer as under warranty but (quelle surprise) they can't replicate the condensation (despite detailed pictures 2 weeks ago) and have refused to replace them. Also the garage said the fronts were 'exposed' so TADTS which perhaps wasn't the best response either. I note the AM service fix wasn't mentioned either. There was also mention several times of the huge cost to replace them which I found slightly unnecessary as we face large bills buying and running these cars without complaint (usually!).
It is also warranty extension time and clearly this hasn't really warmed me to paying £4.5k for a 2 year extended warranty but I note there was an extensive chat on this recently with the popular vote to pocket the £ as a reserve rather than going for warranty.
Anyhoo - welcome thoughts on previous experiences from others!
